How to make it

In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugars. After about a minute add egg and vanilla extract. Slowly add in dry mixture into wet. Mix well to incorporate. Fold in cherries. Form into balls about a tablespoon in size.

Bake in oven for about 10-12 minutes, until lightly browning. Cool on rack for one minute, then transfer to baking rack to continue cooling. Store in an airtight container.

I finally(!) had time to make these last night and boy am I happy I did. I love oatmeal cookies and cherries, so these were absolutely perfect for me. Quick and easy to put together and get in the oven. The recipe indicates that you are to form the dough into balls, but mine was too wet for that, so I just used a two-spoon method. The first batch started to burn a bit on the bottoms at 8 minutes and the second batch only needed 6 (obviously the sizes were different!). I didn’t have any parchment on hand, but a little nonstick spray on my sheet trays worked just fine. These are soft and chewy cookies that are addictive! Thanks for posting such a great recipe, Dahlia!! :)
